ABSTRACT:
In a vehicle consisting of sprung and unsprung masses, rollout of the sprung mass away from the unsprung mass due to centrifugal force on the sprung mass in turns is eliminated and free independent movement of the wheels is permitted by pivoting the sprung mass at two locations on an axis passing through the center-of-gravity of the sprung mass and lying in a plane parallel to the centrifugal force vector. The centrifugal force acting on the center-of-gravity of the sprung mass has no overturning moment around this pivot axis. The resulting centrifugal force component on each axis pivot is transmitted to the wheels and ground without producing any rollout deflections of the main vehicle support springs. The anti-roll torsion bar is eliminated and softer body support springs may be used for improved isolation of road shocks and vibrations from the sprung mass.
